His mother comes from the influential family of Deresa whose members are business magnates and entrepreneurs. He has two older brothers, Sercon Erlton and Afaron Erlton.

As the last child, he was expected to have a intellectual career where he will then be a member of the Dieber State Academy, the most prestigious academy never equaled by any country. He studied ruthlessly and trained by his father, just like his other older brothers. On March 21, 978 N.A., he graduated at the top of the class at Dieber State Univesity with a degree in History and Philosophy.

On his 15th year in the academy, when he was still a Academy Councilor, he was nominated by a friend of his father, Tarron Feriza, a member of the Assembly, to be a new State Minister because he is retiring from politics. Darren was at first hesitated because he doesn't want to leave his Alma mater and his family. His wife and most of his siblings has to convince him that its a once in the lifetime chances he shouldn't passed by. With heavy heart, he then accepted the nomination. By that time he was already a well-known and established scholar and many known politicians knew that the Emperor has his backings on him.

On August 11, 993 N.A., he is the newly-elected State Minister of the State Council. He is also the newly-appointed Minister of Education.
